Wake up and smell the roses. Anyone with a lick of sense knows the bombers motives. I suppose they are busy rounding up a shrink for when they find the bombers so they can ascertain whether his motives were good or bad. Barf.
Dang. It's an editorial.
I'd give like $ 1 million cash for that to be the front page headline of the New York Times.
They're alienating based upon what? The strident protests against suicide bombings from the Arab "street", or the deafening silence. This article is wishful thinking.
Ok, I'm sure this will be misinterpreted, and I'll be flamed, but her goes...
I have mixed emotions about these bombings occurring around the world. On the one hand there is the horror for the victims and their families.
But, knowing that these attacks are going to continue for a while, I'm actually finding myself somewhat encouraged about the scope of these attacks occurring all over the world.
As the targets expand all over the world, the desperation of the muslim terrorists is starting to show, and its bound to start pissing off more and more people (perhaps even some muslims.... Hey, It COULD happen...)
Also you have to realize that this is a surge in the truest sense of the word, directed by someone, and surges can't be maintained for long. Even the best soldiers (and this rabble is far the best), can not keep up a surge for long, especially when their force is being depleted (as in blown up).
They are burning their resources at an alarming rate, an pissing off the populace and authorities in every locality they show their ugly heads.
If there is a shred of decency left in the muslim world, it will start to reveal it self as these terrorists are turned in, perhaps quietly, perhaps boldly and publicly.
Then again, I could be wrong on that last bit... (And that wouldn't surprise me either).
